As an avid CLARINS user for the past 13 years, this is one of the best MENS products that they offer. I use it everyday - for the past two years. I have receive compliments on the look of my skin (face) from several friends recently.

this gel cream hydrates and relaxes expression lines, but is not effective in decongesting, smoothing or firming! I used a few bottles but didn't see a regenerated skin, as in fading of imperfections, either! the old formula that was called "total wrinkle control" had much more going for it, more vitamins, olive leaf extract, sunflower auxins exfoliating extracts and most of all had better smoothing - decongesting herbs like horse chesnut ect.. and for the price increase I miss the old formula even more! one more thing, I wish Clarins would add and SPF moisturizer for men, as opposed to layering the separate sunblock, is anyone really doing that?
